OPENING OF THE COL
LEGE SESSION.

As stated last week the Presbyterian
College Commission together with Prof.
B. B. POwelson has been here to make
the necessary arrangements for opening
a school to prepare students for entrance
to the college proper at the opening of
the college the next year.
We understand that it is the purpose
of those whose duty it is to arrange for
this preparatory school, to rent build
ing Immediately, SO that school may be-
gin in September of this year. This
building will be used until the college
buildings are ready for occupancy. The
school will be under the supervision Of
Rev. B. F. Powelson, whose election to
this important post is ample evidence OF
his competence. He will be assisted by
a corps of experienced teachers, and the
local students will receive the benefit Of
a first class course of drill in the ele-
mentary studies without the expenses OF
board and travel, necessary in attending
other schools. The proposed preparatory
school will be benefit rather than a
detrimcnt to the public schools of this
city. 1t will take away some of the
more advanced pupils, which are the
burdens of the public schools. and ena-
BILE the teachers of those schools to give
more attention to the younger scholars,
for whose benefit the schools were orig
inally intended. There is no reason why
there should be a clash between the two
institutions and we believe there will be
none, but that they will unite their plans
and interests to the greatest good of all
concerned.

THE BONDS CARRIED.

The proposition to vote $25, 900 bonds,
for the purpose of building city hall
was submitted to the people Friday, and
almost unanimously carried, there being
only eight dissenting votes. The land
now occupied by the S. K. Martin lum-
Der yard, south of the railroad on Front
street, has been secured and the build
ing will be erected thereon this fall. The
price paid for the land is $1,000. The
rest of the sum voted in the bonds.
$50, 900 will be used for the building and
for identifying the grounds. The pro
posed city hall will be complete in every
particular and an ornament to the city.
1t will contain suitable rooms for all the
city officers, and a large auditorium for
holding public meetings, and city
Jail. Upon the completion of the city
hall the streets on all sides of it will be
built up with solid business blocks.
which will surround the most beautiful
and attractive spot in the city.

TRUE MERIT.

We wish to say to every one interested
in clothes washing that the futile combi-
nation steam washer is an article of true
MERIT that ii is without question, the
only complete family washing machine
ever known. 1t clenses the finest lace or
coarsest article of washing perfectly and
without injury. The machine is easily
wOrked-a child ten years old being cap
able of operating it, and will do "a wash
ing in two hours that requires hard
day labor at the wash tub The steam
washer is universally known as the only
true washer. The futile steam washer
is of late origin, and an improvement
over all others or it would not have been
granted patent. There has been large
territory disposed of ON the merits of the
futile washer, and while there is good
ly field remaining unsOld we callenge any
one to produce any enterprise with like
amount of investments that will give an
enterprising man the same returns En-
cellent arrangements made with county
agents. To prove our claims for the ma
chine, we would refer you to parties who
have used the futile washer in this city
for nearly a year, and who speak in high
est terms of praise for the same, or we
will show or operate the washer at your
homes free of charge Dodge City is our
headquarters for western Kansas, at the
grain and grocery store of j. w. Gibbs

parties wishing to interview us.

THE PACKING PLANTERS.
OF the capitalists mentioned last week

OF the capitalists mentioned last week,
in the TINES, the Kansas City CORES
pondent of July Both says: Mr.. W. L..
Powell returned yesterday from a pros
pective trip in Kansas. He was accom-
panied by G. A. Nicely, of Ohio; A. P.
Beemis, of Chicago, and G. n. Sander
son, of Boston These gentlemen are
representatives of the National Packing
Association, incorporated under the laws
of Maine. with capital of 81 ,000, 900. 1t
is the intention of the company to build a
line of packing houses on the border of
the cattle-range district. The company
is composed of Boston and Chicago cap
italists. Their idea is that. to increase
big profits in beef -packing, the slaughter
houses should be located as near to the
cattle ranges as the railway facilities will
permit
Their first plant will probably consist
of these houses, one of which will be To-
Gated here The gentlemen who are in
tereSted IN Argentine nave made the COM
pany an offer of a site there, and the req
resentatives are very much in favor of
that flourishing suburb as a location for
their eastern house. They were much
pleased with Kansas, and will probably
build a packing house in Hutchinson,
Dodge City or some neighboring town,
and perhaps another as far southwest rs

ANTEDILUVIAN.

Prof. Hay, the geologist, is making an
examination of different parts of the Ar
kansas valley with special reference to
the possibilities and probabilities Of
there being supply of natural gas. in
an excursion east from Cimarron on
Tuesday he found a part of a jaw and
fragments of tooth of an elephant,
which indicates an animal of considera-
BILE size When the Arkansas valley was
great freshwater lake the elephant
was one of the animals that roamed over
the uplands of the divides, as well as the
mastodon and buffalo At an earlier
date there were also species of rhinoceros
and .camels in the same region which has
now no wild animals of the classes to
which they belong.-Cimarron New

THE INAUGURATION OF
THE FALL BOOM.
Mccarty's Corner Sells for $40, 900

Real estate has been advancing steadily
in the city. even during the hottest
months of the summer, when all boom
ing cities from New York to San Francis
co are sweltering in the inevitable and
unwelcome summer calm 1t is during
this time when people are disguised
with the dry, dusty, untenanted streets,
and assailed with the fears and fOrebO-
dings, as to the future growth of the city
in which they have happened to cast
their lot, this is the time that the shrewd
experienced spceulator makes his invest
ments Then when the cool autumnal
breezes prints its spirited kiss on the
cheek, when the gentle rain pours down
on the Kansas prairies. and untwists the
buffalo grass and colors it with the blue
est dye, when country and city is alive and
radiant; when the former come in to sell
their crops and ship their stock, and spec
ulation and merchandise is at its height
then the summer investor who. it was
said, squandered his money on town
lots in July is a lucky man in October.
The boom in this city however, has taken
a sudden leap in the last week fully a
month ahead of the regular fall boom.
Property has been advancing very rapid
ly lately, and many heavy transfers are
under negotiation. One of the largest &C
tual sales was that of DR.. T. L. McCarty's
block, 50X125 feet, containing the Post
Office and Merchants State Bank build
ing and the City Drug Store. Considera-
ton, $4,000. The purchasers are the
owners of the Merchants State Bank in
this city. The immediate cause of this
transfer is the absolute certainty that the
land office now located in Garden City,
will be moved to this place, which offers
every needful inducemcnt for the re-
moval The fact that two large factories
will soon be established at this point is
also a great stimulant to speculation and
business of every kind.

The recent press dispatches reporting
Asiatic cholera at Detroit. Michigan,
calls to mind the epidemic of maglignant
dysentery, called cholera, at Center Point,
Iowa, in 1879 Within few weeks over
forty persons died from it. The princi-
pal druggist of the town, Mr. George B.
Dunbar. who is still in business there,
sold one hundred and eight tifty-cent bot
ties of Chamberlain's Cholic Cholera
and Diarrh@a Remedy, during the cpl
demic, and states that to the best of his
knowledge it did not fail in a single in
stance. The local paper published there,
said the same, and spoke of it in the high
est terms. The Remedy was used in fully
200 cases. and not to fail in single in
stance, is certainly remarkable, when so
many died WHO were treated by physsci-
ans, or used other medicines. The scOurge
was undoubtedly stayed by Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy,
and many lives saved. 1t is medicine
that every family should be provided
with. Sold by City Drug Store.

THE RAILROAD.

On Tuesday last The Boomer man took
Il trip to Greensburg to attend to some
important business. On our way the
surveyors of the Wichita Il Western
road were seen at Fonda looking after
the old survey stakes, but found that the
prairie fire had destroyed them. With
the assistance of General Fonda new
ones were set. The grade stakes are set
to the county line and about twenty
teams are working on the last mile IN
KiOwa county. Further on towards Null
linsville were numerous outfits and be-
tween Mullinsville and Greensburg the
grading is about finished. T. A. Butler,
the contractor has sub-let the contract
in mile strips. He will place all his
teams west of Mullinsville in a few days
and the grade will be pushed through to
Dodge at once. No contract for grad
ing has been let for Ford county for GER
tain reasons.
At Greensburg Car loads of material
are being unloaded daily for this road,
and track laying will follow up the
grade.
The Rock Island grade through KiOwa
and Ford county is finished and the track
will reach Greensburg on November 1st
1t crosses the Santa Fe track four miles
this side of Greenburg
The d. NJ & A. road that was left at
Iuka, Pratt county, has gone to grass
and nobody can find out where it is graz
ing except up in Lane and Scott counties.
The grading boom will strike Ford
some time in September.-FOrd Boomer.

CROPS IN MEADE COUNTY
The Spring Lake Hornet says:

The Spring Lake Hornet says:
"A ride through the neighborhood
conyinces US that the crops are not
up to their usual standard The oat
crop is total failure, while millet in
some places is excellent, in others not
more than fair. Corn is about the same
as last year, and vegetables few and
far between" This is not owing to
want of rain, for there has been plenty
at this point. The rains have been ex-
tremely local, however, and we surmise
that this has had a great deal to do with
the rapid evaporation of the moisture.
Another year will bring forth better re-
suits.
